CHEYNEY, Pa. – Allison Hostetter scored 17 points and Alex Lennon grabbed 10 rebounds and blocked six shots to lead West Chester University to a lopsided 97-45 victory on the road over cross-town rival Cheyney University inside Cope Hall Wednesday night.
West Chester (20-5, 11-2 PSAC East) won its seventh straight contest and remains in second place in the conference standings one game behind Bloomsburg. Cheyney (6-19, 2-11) was swept in the season series against the Golden Rams.
West Chester will host Bloomsburg on Saturday afternoon inside Hollinger Field House with an opportunity to claim a share of the regular-season crown with the Huskies. Bloomsburg has clinched the top seed in the East as they hold the tie-breaker over West Chester should the two end tied atop the standings.
Kutztown has clinched the fourth seed in the playoffs and will travel to Bloomsburg on Tuesday, March 1 in the quarterfinals of the PSAC Tournament next week. All that is left is to determine who will be the No. 2 and 3 seeds. West Chester and Millersville will meet in the other PSAC quarterfinal in the East. Where that game will be played is yet to be determined.
Millersville holds the tie-breaker over West Chester. So, if the Rams and Marauders end the regular-season tied for second, then Millersville will earn the second seed and host West Chester. Millersville travels to Kutztown for the regular-season finale on Saturday afternoon.
